E.V.E./DT4EMS Directors:
Mike Novak - Director of Fire Services and Course Instructor
|
|
Mike is the Director of Fire
Services for DT4EMS, LLC and has the main focus to integrate the Escaping
Violent Encounters (EVE) program into the fire service. Mike entered the fire
service in 1989 as a volunteer firefighter and is currently the Battalion Chief
at Branson Fire Rescue in Branson, MO, where he has the responsibility of
Training and Safety.

Mike attended
the DT4EMS I/C in Branson, MO in 2010 and shortly after trained
all Branson Fire Rescue personnel with the DT4EMS program. He
soon realized that the program was designed with the EMS
provider in mind and that the fire service could greatly benefit
from this training as many of their calls are medical in nature.
With the fire service as his focus, Mike has been working to
expand the EVE program by presenting it at the University of
Missouri Fire Rescue Training Institute’s Winter Fire School and
in late 2011, become one of the Missouri Advocates for the
Everyone Goes Home© Program which developed the Sixteen
Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives. As the Missouri Advocate,
his goal is to raise the awareness and importance, on a national
level, of Initiative # 12 National protocols for response to
violent incidents should be developed and championed. |

Mike began his
instructional career in 2000 surprisingly by becoming a SCUBA instructor. In
addition to the EVE Programs that he presents, he teaches fire service courses
including Water/Dive Rescue, Hazardous Materials, and many other fire and EMS
related courses. He is a Fire Service Instructor II, Fire Officer II, certified
Incident Safety Officer, certified Health and Safety Officer, NREMT, and is
currently working on a degree in Fire Service Administration.

If you are interested in any
DT4EMS or EVE course he is ready to work with you to integrate it into your
organization. Every firefighter, EMS provider, or loved one will benefit from
the skills learned in one of the EVE programs and could save their life when
presented with an attacker. |
